Reminding God

The idea of reminding God baffled me in my Sunday School days. Asking God to remember? Please! He knows the number of hairs on my head!

I think I get it a bit more now (although I have no illusions and fully understand that God is so deep it will take all of eternity to get Him).

I think, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, that God likes to be reminded of what He's promised us. It lets Him know that we're paying attention (or something deeper and more spiritual that I don't yet get).

So let's try a little something. In the spirit of the wonderful Beth Moore, let's ask God to show off for us. Let's remind Him of his promises and see what happens.

Here are a few suggestions, but be encouraged to dig through your bible and find one (or some) that fit where you are in this life.

--Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jer. 33:3 (when you need to know more about Him)

--He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Phill 1:6 (when you need to remind God that He's not finished with you yet)

--I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13 (when it seems like the sun will never shine again)

--If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. James 1:5 (for parenting. or marriage. or work. or friendship.)

--The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; your love, oh Lord, endures forever. Do not abandon the work of your hands. Ps. 138:8 (when you step out in faith and then feel suddenly alone and scared, waiting for God to move)

--As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success. 2 Chron. 26:5b (when you're trying to write a brilliant article about a really great author)

Go! Do it! Let me know how God shows off for you, and I'll do the same.
